Darrin have you been paying attention to the economic numbers lately? Stuff like unemployment, manufacturing, consumer indexes etc?
I'm curious. I have Native American blood, and Black blood in my veins, even though I am primarily German, Scottish, and Norwegian. No Brown or yellow blood....Quote:

How so?Quote:

If you can't see the difference, that is your problem, not mine.
The GOP doens't hate women. They don't have a "war on women". I disagree with that.Quote:

"Poor people" does include no small number of women, though, so I can see how one might make the mistake.
Should Louis C.K. be fired? Should advertisers drop his show on FX? Should he apologize to Sarah Palin for calling her the c-word? Will he be judged the same way Rush was? Will anyone care?
Are we human or are we dancer?
No one will care.Quote:

I still haven't seen anything yet, as to what the normal turnover is of sponsors.Quote:

A lot of evangelicals support that notion to all manner of degree.Quote:

Yeah, women don't count anyway, right?
To me the biggest irony about this whole situation is this:
You have the Obama administration saying these entities have to include birth control in their prescription plans. Now, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church may have gotten bent out of shape, but most Catholics to whom I have spoken have no problem with this. I have even spoken to priests who personally will tell you that they believe that religious freedom means the Church should not impose its beliefs on others. I have found it odd that people who speak of religious freedom in this matter seem to care about the rights of organized religion, as opposed to the individual rights of the people to practice what they do or do not believe. Isn't it the individual's freedom that is more vital? I am just surprised at the number of people, especially supposed conservatives, who believe in the right of an organization to impose its beliefs and practices on an individual simply because that person is an employee or a student. Would they feel the same were it a non-Christian religion?
the individual right is not in question. No one is trying to outlaw birth control. The catholic church, who does not believe in birth control, does not want to pay for it with regards to their institutions. I agree with themQuote:

Many Catholic run orgs have been covering b/c in their insurance plans for years.
The pedophile-protecting bishops never objected until now.
"Would they feel the same were it a non-Christian religion"
it's not even a Christian angle, it could be, what the Repugs/Bishops want, abrogating coverage in a contract simply because of ethical or moral objections (Christ doesn't have to be in the picture), where the employer is not even party to contract ( which between the insurer and the employee).

They are NOT paying for it. The insurance is paid for by the student and is not subsidized by the university.Quote:
